I believe that we have better instruments than "Recommends" these days, in particular booleans. In the example at hand, we could create a pseudo-package by the name of, say, "system-requires-wifi". Yast would install this package automatically during system setup if Wifi hardware was deteced. Then Networkmanager could have a dependency like this:
Requires: (NetworkManager-wifi = %{version} if system-requires-wifi)
a) If YaST can detect wifi during setup YaST can also install NetworkManager-wifi. Yet another dummy package makes no sense. b) how exactly is it going to help those users who got broken system during simple update?
